## Configure demand settings

Demand settings control which parts of the BOM drive demand calculations and how supply is counted during Autoplan runs.

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Supply Chain > Plans**.
2. Turn on or off the settings you need:

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Drive demand below purchased parts** | Extends demand calculations to sub-components beneath purchased parts in the BOM. |
| **Drive demand from kits** | Includes kit requirements when calculating material demand. |
| **Group plan items with same date** | Consolidates plan line items with the same target date into a single group. |
| **Exclude uncommitted purchase orders** | Counts only ordered POs as supply; draft, requested, and approved POs are excluded.
